Frequently Asked Questions

How much will it cost?

We’ll meet with you at your location to determine your needs and provide an estimate. Our service is extremely competitive. What’s more, by removing food scraps—the wettest and heaviest portion of your waste stream—you can save on your trash bill by reducing the number of weekly pickups and, in some cases, downsizing to a smaller container.

What do you use for containers?

Typically, we use 32-gallon or 64-gallon totes, lined to help keep them clean.

How do you collect the food scraps?

We have a fleet of standard rear-loading and top-loading rendering trucks, similar to those you see collecting municipal garbage.

What about food waste that has expired in its packaging. Do I have to separate it?

We accept damaged or expired packaged foods, including items in metal cans, plastic jugs, and cardboard boxes. These materials require a higher charge due to the additional disposal costs at the site. Please note: We do not accept packaging with a low volume of waste or anything packaged in glass.

How do you get the food out of the packaging?

We load the packaged food into the depackaging machine, which uses a series of paddles and screens to separate the food from the packaging.

My current trash bill is a flat fee no matter how much I throw away. What do I do?

If your current hauler is not willing to adjust the service for you to encourage recycling, we can provide the names of other haulers who would be happy to work with you.

Do you have any marketing materials, such as window stickers or table tents, if I want to publicize our efforts?
